Many graffiti artists use their medium for showcasing their beliefs on the state of our current society. While a front-page editorial of The New York Times outlining the flaws of a government might create controversy, graffiti artists can make just as much “noise” through their images. Using imagery to share anti-establishment beliefs is as old as time, but using graffiti to do so didn’t really peak until the late 20th century.

One of the best-known graffiti artists to do this is Banksy. A British-born graffiti artist, Banksy uses a graffiti style known as “stenciling” to achieve the distinctive look of his works. As he has rarely commented on many of his pieces, the message can be left open to interpretation. However, it is fairly clear that Banksy is showcasing his perceived flaws of our modern society and he uses his imagery alone to speak volumes for the messages he hopes to convey.
